Academic Programs & Teaching
The JLU Giessen offers a Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) degree program in either Business Administration or Economics. The B. Sc. is designed as a three-year (six-semester) program. Our department offers B. Sc. graduates the possibility to study for a Master of Science (M. Sc.) degree in either Business Administration or Economics. Both M. Sc. degrees are research-focused programs which aim to further students' in-depth understanding of selected academic specialties. As such, an M. Sc. degree is also one of the preconditions for future doctoral studies. The M. Sc. is designed as a two-year (four-semester) program.
